Ideas were taken from both [[WesternAnimation/TheTransformers the G1 cartoon]] and the [[ComicBook/TheTransformers Marvel comic]].
The main draw of the Dreamwave comic was the highly detailed, {{manga}}-influenced artwork of Pat Lee - which, as it turned out, included a lot of DullSurprise and vaguely sexual poses. However, most of the actual drawing, colouring, and inking was done by uncredited and frequently unpaid guest artists while Lee was buying fast cars and sponsoring his girlfriend's Miss World campaign. Following a series of unethical business practises, scandals, and outright crime, Dreamwave declared bankruptcy, leaving both the ''G1'' and ''Unicron Trilogy'' stories unfinished.

* ABoyAndHisX: Wheelie and his pet Sharkticon, Gnaw.
* ActionGirl: Marissa Faireborn.
* AliensAreBastards: Much of America's population comes to this conclusion concerning the Transformers after they are forced to destroy an oil refinery against their will (which no one else knew) and the Decepticons attacked San Francisco.
* AscendedExtra: Sunstorm, a background character from a single scene of the first TV episode, has an arc dedicated to him.
* BarehandedBladeBlock: During the second War Within mini-series, the Fallen catches Grimlock's energo-sword in one hand.
* CutShort: Perhaps one of the worst examples. Being cut short resulted in nearly every storyline in the comics being cut off. At the time it ended the series had set up dozens of storylines both major and minor.
* DullSurprise
* GrowingTheBeard: The second miniseries. The first one, despite some genuinely good moments, was mostly a DarkerAndEdgier version of the basic plots.
* MedievalStasis: Partly justified by the Great Shutdown.
* MythArc: The series was ''trying'' to build up to one big arc involving the Quintessens and Megatron. Due to being cut short we never saw the resolution to the arc. Apparentlly [[TheEndofTheWorldasWeKnowIt Unicron]], the female Transformers, the Golden Disk, the Micromasters, The Great Shutdown, and Earth itself are all somehow linked to this conspiracy.
* OffModel: All over the place. Pat Lee's art is almost nothing but this.
* PatrickStewartSpeech: By Optimus Prime in the first miniseries.
* {{Prequel}}: ''The War Within'' happens before the events of the main book.
* QuirkyMinibossSquad: The Fallen created one of these in the ''War Within'' comic series. Decepticon mystics Bludgeon, Bugly, and Mindwipe made a very effective one, too.
* TakeThat: The comics feature a lot of jabs against the mostly-forgotten competitor to the original, ChallengeOfTheGoBots, mostly in the form of background characters resembling the Go Bots being killed in various ways.
* TheFundamentalist: Sunstorm. The guy is both ultra-religious and ''totally batshit insane''.
* TheStarscream: The trope namer is a main character so what do you expect?
* WordOfGay - Sunstreaker was outed by Matt Moylan, no matter how illogical this may have been for a genderless robot. The comics ''were'' getting ready to explain how the whole gender and reproduction thing worked for Transformers but due to being cut short the plotline went unresolved.
* XanatosGambit: Shockwave starts doing some serious ones and as the series goes on it turns out that Shockwave was responsible for pretty much everything that's happening. It takes Optimus Prime, Ultra Magnus, Starscream, and all of the Autobots to finally derail his gambits.

The main draw of the Dreamwave comic was the highly detailed, {{manga}}-influenced artwork of Pat Lee - which, as it turned out, included a lot of DullSurprise and vaguely sexual poses. However, most of the actual drawing, colouring, and inking was done by uncredited and frequently unpaid guest artists while Lee was buying fast cars and sponsoring his girlfriend's Miss World campaign. Following a series of unethical business practises, scandals, and outright crime, Dreamwave declared bankruptcy, leaving both the ''G1'' and ''Unicron Trilogy'' stories unfinished.
